The aim of the subject is to learn about the causes of electromagnetic transients in the electricity system, the physics of the processes and the consequences of transients. The lectures are intended to provide a deeper understanding of the processes that occur during abnormal operating conditions and short circuits, the design of surge protection, and the operation of some advanced solutions of the power system. The exercises aim to introduce methods for building a simplified physical picture and computational procedures and techniques for simulating transients.

1. Introduction, subject requirements. Role of electromagnetic transients in power system operation and reliability.

2. Transients in electrical engineering practice, overview of the main characteristics of transients. Properties of distributed and concentrated parameter networks.

3. Wave propagation in ideal one phase-ground system, wave reflection and penetration at discontinuity points.

4. Calculation of wave reflections: overview of Bergeron and Bewley methods.
